Escalating energy demands of self-independent on-skin/wearable electronics impose challenges on corresponding power sources to offer greater power density, permeability, and stretchability. Here, a high-efficient breathable and stretchable monolithic hybrid triboelectric-piezoelectric-electromagnetic nanogenerator-based electronic skin (TPEG-skin) is reported via sandwiching a liquid metal mesh with two-layer topological insulator-piezoelectric polymer composite nanofibers. TPEG-skin concurrently extracts biomechanical energy (from body motions) and electromagnetic radiations (from adjacent appliances), operating as epidermal power sources and whole-body self-powered sensors. Topological insulators with conductive surface states supply notably enhanced triboelectric and piezoelectric effects, endowing TPEG-skin with a 288 V output voltage (10 N, 4 Hz), ∼3 times that of state-of-the-art devices. Liquid metal meshes serve as breathable electrodes and extract ambient electromagnetic pollution (±60 V, ±1.6 µA cm). TPEG-skin implements self-powered physiological and body motion monitoring and system-level human-machine interactions. This study provides compatible energy strategies for on-skin/wearable electronics with high power density, monolithic device integration, and multifunctionality.
自主式可穿戴电子设备不断增长的能源需求,对相应的电源提出了挑战,要求其具备更高的功率密度、透气性和拉伸性。在此,通过将液态金属网夹在两层拓扑绝缘体 - 压电聚合物复合纳米纤维之间,报道了一种基于高效透气且可拉伸的单片式混合摩擦电 - 压电 - 电磁纳米发电机的电子皮肤(TPEG 皮肤)。TPEG 皮肤同时提取生物机械能(来自身体运动)和电磁辐射(来自相邻电器),作为表皮电源和全身自供电传感器运行。具有导电表面态的拓扑绝缘体显著增强了摩擦电和压电效应,赋予 TPEG 皮肤 288 V 的输出电压(10 N,4 Hz),约为现有先进设备的 3 倍。液态金属网用作透气电极,并提取环境电磁污染(±60 V,±1.6 μA/cm)。TPEG 皮肤实现了自供电生理和身体运动监测以及系统级人机交互。本研究为具有高功率密度、单片器件集成和多功能性的可穿戴电子设备提供了兼容的能源策略。
